might be useful to have a dialog option to enable users to add basic info - select type, enter model #, H-W-D, and/or maybe select similar product type and re-size to "simulate" pending adding an actual model.

i know for me, given space constraints on uiltity rooms in recording studios, having the equipment sized correctly (as simple boxes) is much more important than the detailed looks when configuring the approximate systems layout for the engineers to refine later.

looks like some more configuration work needed.

1. part way scrolling through a list of posts suddenly there is some refresh looping causing the entire page from the advert on down to jump back and forth (up and down really) making things unusable.

2. the "vote" column might be better on the outside column so accessing the last post link isn't potentially cutoff from the view when the browser window is smaller than (perhaps) optimal for the site?

that worked! no sketchucation errors. just some previous initialized messages in the console for FileUtils.

and then, when you update to 2025, the default is into the app data\roaming directories, but still mysteriously mapped to the old 2024 path - so you end up with duplicated entries if you copy from the 2024 into the new home paths in 2025... very confusing - the preferences setting should be honored as-is or port the old path into the preferences... i just spent an hour trying to figure out why i was getting duplicates when i copied over to the new preference settings... please fix this in the next update...

that looks like a lawsuit just waiting to happen lol

ok, so adding a parent component which controls the copy and rotate, i just need to add the parameter selections in the parent and pass them to the (what was) the original component (now the child) and it seems to be working. appreciate the assist. this is an annoying feature...

@Rich-O-Brien doesn't look like there is an option to edit signature in the settings or profile areas (found via the vertical triple dots).

also, the "your posts" is called "best posts" - maybe call it "latest posts" or "recent posts" as i'm sure not all my most recent posts are the "best" ones

for some reason, many "metric" countries are using different building codes and material sizes from the others. whenever i start a studio design for someone - first check - get all the building codes and material sizing for that country established before beginning the actual design work. early on (~20 years ago) i made the mistake of assuming all metric countries were "standardized"... then after doing all the construction docs, during review the builder pointed out all the wrong dimensions on the materials, code-prohibited practices or confused one etc etc... needless to say another 3 weeks to fix it all...

the secret is to make sure you're taking advantage of the mass transit system and weekends. i was fortunate enough to spend about 9 months of a year there and walking around on the weekends, and playing in the open mics around the city (thereby meeting people as well ). it's not a big city (like London for example) so on a weekend you can cover quite a lot of territory and really see the small shops and restaurants etc that are missed when taking taxis... renting a bike is nice as well but there is a "stolen bike" problem (mainly the city takes the bikes then resells them -- but that's a different discussion )

@Box said in How to stop irrelevant posts showing up in our feed.:

@box didn't you have like 50,000 reputation points before the upgrade?

would an easy way to compare E with and without the adjustment in case it's significant enough for someone to review their parameters? e.g. https://woodengineering.com/2022/07/16/shear-free-eeee/

same it's working now across both Edge and Chrome on Win11

also on Chrome, and the vertical ellipsis is experiencing a similar malfunction

looks like the dropdown to mark things read is not displaying on W11 Edge.

any future option on framing (wall and trusses) to include the plate end marks? e.g.

also on the blocking (noggin marks?) etc.?

so, all of my folders will be on the dropdown list now? so, no more organized methodical use of the dropdown? so instead of easy navigation and using the dropdown to move up, etc, i just have everything without ordering it? really?

please fix this.

the materials dropdown list used to only show the top level folders and materials in the materials folder, clicking on the folder would expose the materials in that folder.
2025:

and subfolders:

2026: now, all folders and subfolders are appearing in one long list on the dropdown. so the hierarchy that was the previous mode has now been made into a single flat list?

not seeing this as helpful. maybe if there was a configuration option which let me decide if i wanted to see everything all at once, or just be able to walk my way though the materials...

@TIG yes that is my observation. the missing folders from the 2026 install-first-run migration process cause the errors in the sketchucation startup.

it's this line:

Sketchup.require(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), 'DM_ProfileBuilder3/langhandler'))

in the DM_ProfileBuilder3.rb
it's likely that the profile builder folder did not get copied. when i "migrated" my 2025 plugins to 2026, it missed 4 folders from the "required" lines. once the folders were copied over, it all works.

note on my system the DM_ProfileBuilder3 folder copied, it was other plugin folders which did not.

any timeline to fix the preferences -> file locations? regardless of the setting, it simply shows the default install folders. then i have to remove those and replace with junctions to get them to point to the locations i want (versus whatever the program wants) so materials ,components, and styles are still not responding to the settings in preferences.
